Shas leader Aryeh Deri attends a security cabinet meeting after skipping the previous two discussions in recent weeks.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed Deri as a special observer after he was forced by the Supreme Court to fire Deri from his roles as interior and health minister due to his corruption convictions.

But Deri apparently became fed up and stopped showing up after three meetings.
